Asian drunk, we hear — one in the pool? (6)
I believe the answer is:
typist
'one in the pool?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'asian drunk we hear' is the wordplay.
'asian' becomes 'ty' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'drunk' becomes 'pissed' (slang term).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'pissed' is a homophone of 'pist'.
'ty'+'pist'='TYPIST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for typist that I've seen before include "Person at keyboard" , "One uses an old-fashioned keyboard" , "Keyboard user" , "Operator of a machine that prints one character at a time" , "One using keyboard" .)
